So our top pick in 2015, Kevin Johnson, gets his first official start with Kareem out.
Bad news about Clowney. Sounds like he's out again. He was playing pretty good, against the run and he was getting some pressure on the QB, even though no sacks. Hope he gets back sometime this year.
Wonder about Xaviar if there's any chance he shows up at LG in South FLA this Sunday ?

Thinking that Johnson has started the last two games at CB and Kareem started at S. Could be wrong though.

Really. I knew Kareem was playing some safety, but didn't know he was starting there ?
FWIW Texans depth chart shows him and Joseph as the starting corners, with no mention of him at either safety spot.

Bet the house, boys!

The Texans have never lost a regular-season game against Miami in their history.
